Arabic

Etymology 1

Apparently from Old South Arabian, perhaps mediated and distorted in local Aramaic, compare Sabaean 𐩬𐩦𐩱‎ (ns²ʾ, “to build up, to raise (buildings, terraces etc.); to take out (water); to levy (taxes); to expel”), 𐩬𐩦𐩱𐩬‎ (ns²ʾn, “a social class, stratum”), 𐩣𐩬𐩦𐩱‎ (mns²ʾ, “a gathering, assembly; (military) campaign, offensive”), figurative developments of the cognate to the Arabic root ن ش ء‎ (n-š-ʾ).
